We had to solve the problems in our math book and when we solved it we take a photo and insert it on to the slide. Then we had to make a DLO of how we solve the problems.

1.L shape - to do the L shape,you have to sit on the ground and stretch your legs in front of you and stretch your arms as high as you can.

Inter school|Ki o Rahi

LI:To play Ki o Rahi

Today we went to inter school for Ki o Rahi. We were playing our games at Dunkirk park. Today we played 5 games.

1st round
Our first game was against Tamaki primary but sadly we lost by 1. Tamaki primary score was 6, our score was 5 so it was a close game against them.

2nd round
On our second round we were so post to play against Panmure district but they didn't show up so we had a friendly game against another school. We all had fun and we also won that round. It was a great game.

3rd round
On our third game was against Tu Poa but we lost again but all of us had fun playing. The thing I liked when I was playing against them is that all of us had a turn running with the Ki and that we did really good at passing the ball to each other.

4th round
Our forth round was against Stone fields school.We won this round but it was kind of hard because stone fields did really good at hitting the tupu and they did really good at ripping our tags.

Final round
Our final round was against St Patrick school.We won this round but St Patrick school did really well at throwing the Ki at the tupu.

We had a rough start but we finished off hard.
Here is a 1 photo of us playing against a school and another photo of us with St Patrick school

Our trip to the Auckland zoo

LI:To learn about different types animals at the zoo.

Yesterday all of LS1 went on a trip to the Auckland zoo.Before we went into the bus we had to get into a group of 6.We had to bring our bags because we are going to spend most of the time at the zoo and we'll have to have our morning tea and lunch at the zoo.

Giraffes
Patrick took us to the Africa area first and he told us about the giraffes,zebras and ostriches.I learnt that a giraffes tongue is very long so they can use it to grab the leaves that they eat and not the thorns.The colour of the tongue is bluish purplish to protect it from getting sun burnt in the hot African sun.

Flamingo
He also took us to the flamingo area.We got to see them dance and Patrick taught us how to dance like them too.I learnt that their ankles are where our knees would be when you look at their legs.I also learnt that they are pink because of what they eat like shrimp and the pinker the males are the better that the females like them.

Meewkat
We saw the meerkats and I found out that they have long claws that they use for digging and for catching their food like spiders,insects and even scorpions.What I found interesting is that meerkats can catch scorpions without getting stung and they have 1 or 2 meerkats who stand up to look for any danger.These are called sentries because they are guarding and protecting the rest of the group.

NZ birds
After we looked at the Africa area we went to Te Wao Nui where we saw animals that are native to NZ.I learnt some of the Maori names of the different types of birds like the kakariki/NZ parakeet, tieke/saddleback, kereru/NZ pigeon,whio/blue duck and ruru/morepork.

Hiwi the kiwi fishing for the future

LI:To be responsible in the sea and when fishing.

What we learnt

Plastic-In the sea there some plastic stuff that people throw into the sea.If you see any plastic in the sea when your fishing you should grab it and put it in your pocket and when you get home you can put it in the bin because if you don't pick it up fish or birds might think it's food and they'll eat it and they will die but if you put it in the bin they won't see it and they won't eat it and die.

Life jackets and safety-When you are on a boat fishing you should always put a life jacket on so if the boat tips over the life jacket that you are wearing will help you float.If you don't were a life jacket and you just leave your life jacket on the ground,if your boat tips over you probity won't have enough time to put it on and you will drown.

What we did

Sang songs-The minster sang some songs to us the has answers to the question he was going to ask after he sang the song so we had to listen carefully.There were 5 or 6 answers that were in the song that he sang that we had to listen for.

Answer questions-After the minster sang his song he asked us 5 or 6 questions that had the answer in the song.The people that the minster picked to answer the question will have to come on to the stage and tell us there name and tell us the answer to the question he asked.After answered the question they will give him a poster.

Explanation

How does a bike work


Every bike needs to have wheels,gear,pedal and breaks because these are
the things that help a bike to work.If we don’t have these bike parts the bike
won’t work and the bike will fall apart.
Photo by Pixelcreatures      
We need the brake levers on a bike so we can stop when we need to.When
we pull the lever the wheels will slow down so we don’t crash into something
or somebody.
    Photo by Hans
We need the gear so when we need to get to a place on time
we can change the gear on a higher number so the bike can go faster
and you will get to that place on time.
 Photo by LJ
We need the wheels on a bike because the wheels help the bike move and
helps the person riding a bike can get their balance so they can ride a bike
anywhere.
We need the pedals on a bike because when a person is riding a bike
and they push on the pedals,it will make the wheels move so when you push
the padale it will help the bike move.

LI:To write an explanation

Today we had to write an explanation about something.I decided to write an explanation about a bike.I had to write what are the parts of a bike that makes it move and explain how the parts of the bike help the bike to move.I learnt some of this information by searching it up on google search.I did the planner on the google drawing and I did my explanation on a google docs.
